2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Of course Hillary won't get indicted. All that will happen is that the FBI will RECOMMEND indictment [View all]spin
(17,493 posts)highly classified email to exist on an unauthorized and improperly secured dark server Hillary may have exposed our nation to grave damage.
Supposedly some of the email on Hillary's server was so highly classified that it can't be released to the public in any form. It may have contained the names of agents and sources in foreign nations. Do you remember the Valerie Plame incident that occurred during the Bush the Younger's administration and the uproar it caused? It is possible that the email on Hillary's server may have put lives in danger.
Hillarys emails included CIA officers names, report says

Foreign intelligence agencies both friendly and unfriendly would be very interested in reading Hillary's email even if it was unclassified. The SOS is a very high ranking official in our government and you can bet that if these nations found out that Hillary had a private server with government email on it they would have moved heaven and earth in an attempt to access it.
But all we have at this point is rumors as the FBI has not finished the investigation. If the stories are correct there are 147 FBI agents working full time on this case. If the FBI is willing to dedicate this many agents in the current environment it must be a very high priority.
Hillary claims none of the email was marked classified but even if so she should have recognized highly sensitive information if she was even marginally competent.
Hillary supposedly set up the server for her convenience. National security trumps convenience.
I hear the FBI will make a final decision on if Hillary should be indicted in May. At this point I feel Hillary may be in serious trouble but of course I could be wrong.
Some have suggested that Hillary considers herself to be above the law. That may be a fact and she may be the owner of a gold plated Get out of Jail Free card. If so,the rule of law no longer applies in this nation and we are no longer a well functioning representative democracy. Perhaps we are in the process of morphing into a Oligarchy as Bernie has often suggested.
Remember Richard Nixon? I do all too well. I don't ever want to see another president like Nixon in office ever again. Some have called Hillary "Nixon in a pantsuit" and they may be right.
Time will tell. It would be nice to know sooner rather than later but the wheels of justice grind slowly. Patience is a prime virtue.
